Canlılar çevrelerinde meydan gelen değişikliklere adapte olabilmek için davranışsal ve fizyolojik süreçlerini düzenlerler. Canlılardaki bu süreçler sirkadyen ritimle düzenlenmekte ve çevresel değişikliklere senkronize olmaktadır. Bu senkronizasyon canlılara bazen avantaj bazen de dezavantaj sağlamaktadır. Dezavantajlarla beraber nörodejeneratif, hastalıklar meydana gelmektedir. Sirkadyen ritme bağlı olarak bireylerde meydana gelen beyin felci vakaları da değişiklik göstermektedir. Buna bağlı olarak beyin felci insidansına bakıldığında insidansın gündüz saatlerinde daha fazla olduğu görülmektedir. Fakat beyin felci ve sirkadyen ritim arasındaki ilişkiden sorumlu mekanizmaların nasıl ilerlediği henüz tam olarak bilinememektedir. Bu tez çalışmasında, beyin felci sonrası sirkadyen ritim proteinlerinden Brain and muscle arly hydrocarbon receptor nuclear antigen-1(Bmal 1)'in melatonin ile ilişkisinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla in vivo ortamda beyin felci oluşturulan farelerde ve in vitro ortamda beyin felci modeli oluşturularak i) apoptotik hücre ölümü, ii) nöronal sağkalım, iii) sirkadyen ritimde rol oynayan sinyal iletim yolakları, iv) Akt sinyal iletim yolağındaki değişiklikler ve v) Bmal 1'in ifadesinin arttırılmasıyla hücre içerisinde etkilenen moleküler yolaklar değerlendirilmiştir. İskemik beyin felci modeli uygulanan farelerde iskemi sonrası melatonin tedavisi ile apoptotik hücre sayısının azaldığı, nöronal sağkalım oranının arttığı, Bmal 1, Clock, PerII ve p-Akt protein seviyelerinde artış olduğu; öte yandan Akt sinyal yolağının baskılanması ile bu proteinlerin seviyelerinde azalma olduğu görülmüştür. Elde edilen souçlar Bmal 1proteini ve melatonin arasındaki ilişkinin PI3K/Akt hücresel sağkalım sinyal yolağı üzerinden gerçekleştiğine işaret etmektedir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar sirkadyen ritmin beyin felci sonuçları üzerine etkisini moleküler düzeyde göstermektedir ve ileride beyin felcinin patolojik süreçlerinin daha detaylı anlaşılmasına ve beyin felci tedavisinde yeni hedef molekül geliştirilmesine katkıda bulunması beklenmektedir. Living organisms organize their behavioral and physiological processes in order to adapt to the changes that occurs around them. In living organisms, these processes organized by circadian rhythm and synchronized with environmental changes. This synchronizing provide sometimes advantages and sometimes disadvantages. Neurodegenerative, metabolic, cardiovascular diseases consist of disadvantages. Based on the circadian rhythm, cerebral ischemia cases vary among individuals. Therefore the incidence of cerebral ischemia is seen to be higher during daytime hours. However, how these circadian rhythm mechanisms are related with cerebral ischemia is not clear. In this thesis, it is aimed to reveal the relationship between Bmal 1, circadian rhythm protein, and melatonin after cerebral ischemia. For this purpose, i) apoptotic cell death, ii) neuronal survival, iii) signaling pathways that play a role in the circadian rhythm, iv) Akt signaling pathway, v) the effects of overexpression of Bmal 1 protein in vivo and in vitro conditions have been researched in order to understand possible effects of circadian rhythm related protein Bmal 1 on cerebral ischemia. As a result of in vivo and in vitro experiments, it was found that melatonin treatment decreased number of apoptotic cells, increased rate of neuronal survival, and resulted in higher expression levels of circadian rhythm related proteinsBmal 1, Clock, PerII and survival ptotein p-Akt., while suppression of Akt signaling pathway leads to a decreased in the levels of these proteins relative to treatment after cerebral ischemia. According to data, we purpose the relationship between Bmal 1 protein and melatonin is mediated through the PI3K/Akt cellular survival signaling pathway. 89

Conflicting data in the literature about the function of P2X7R in survival following ischemia necessitates the conductance of in-depth studies. To investigate the impacts of activation vs inhibition of the receptor on neuronal survival as well as the downstream signaling cascades, in addition to optic nerve transection (ONT), 30 min and 90 min of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) models were performed in mice. Intracellular calcium levels were assessed in primary cortical neuron cultures. Here, we show that P2X7R antagonist Brilliant Blue G (BBG) decreased DNA fragmentation, infarct volume, brain swelling, neurological deficit scores and activation of microglial cells after focal cerebral ischemia. BBG also significantly increased the number of surviving retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) after ONT and the number of surviving neurons following MCAo. Importantly, receptor agonist BzATP resulted in increased activation of microglial cells and induced phosphorylation of ERK, AKT and JNK. These results indicated that inhibition of P2X7R with BBG promoted neuronal survival, not through the activation of survival kinase pathways, but possibly by improved intracellular Ca 2 + overload and decreased the levels of Caspase 1, IL-1β and Bax proteins. On the other hand, BzATP-mediated increased number of activated microglia and increased survival kinase levels in addition to increased caspase-1 and IL-1β levels indicate the complex nature of the P2X7 receptor-mediated signaling in neuronal injury.

Lithium, in addition to its effect on acute and long-term bipolar disorder, is involved in neuroprotection after ischemic stroke. Yet, its mechanism of action is still poorly understood, which was only limited to its modulatory effect on GSK pathway. Therefore, we initially analyzed the dose-dependent effects of lithium on neurological deficits, infarct volume, brain edema and blood-brain barrier integrity, along with neuronal injury and survival in mice subjected to focal cerebral ischemia. Thereafter, we investigated the involvement of the PI3K/Akt and MEK signal transduction pathways and their components. Our observations revealed that 2 mmol/kg lithium significantly improved post-ischemic brain tissue survival. Although, 2 mmol/kg lithium had no negative effect on brain microcirculation, 5 and 20 mmol/kg lithium reduced brain perfusion. Furthermore, supratherapeutic dose of lithium in 20 mmol/kg lead to animal death. In addition, improvement of brain perfusion with L-arginine, did not change the effect of 5 mmol/kg lithium on brain injury. Additionally, post-stroke blood-brain barrier leakage, hemodynamic impairment and apoptosis have been reversed by lithium treatment. Interestingly, lithium-induced neuroprotection was associated with increased phosphorylation of Akt at Thr308 and suppressed GSK-3β phosphorylation at Ser9 residue. Lithium upregulated Erk-2 and downregulated JNK-2 phosphorylation. To distinguish whether neuroprotective effects of lithium are modulated by PI3K/Akt or MEK, we sequentially blocked these pathways and demonstrated that the neuroprotective activity of lithium persisted during MEK/ERK inhibition, whereas PI3K/Akt inhibition abolished neuroprotection. Collectively, we demonstrated lithium exerts its post-stroke neuroprotective activity via the PI3K/Akt pathway, specifically via Akt phosphorylation at Thr308, but not via MEK/ERK. [Display omitted] • Post-stroke lithium administration attenuates ischemic injury and cell death. • Lithium promotes vasodilation and BBB integrity; reduces oxidative stress. • Lithium mediates neuroprotection in a dose dependent manner. • The neuroprotective effect of lithium is modulated by PI3K/Akt, but not MEK/ERK.
